Replication Data for: On the Apparent Paradox of Belonging to the Middle Strata of Society. A Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of the Austrian‘s Subjective Social Position from 1993 to 2016
No full textThe data is Austrian survey data from the Social Survey Austria and the International Social Survey Programme. By means of the data the determinants of the Austrian's subjective position, such as their educational degree or individual and household income, can be analyzed in time-comparison from 1993 to 2016
CO2-relevant environmental behaviour (SUF edition)
No full textFull edition for scientific use. In the Paris Climate Agreement, Austria committed itself to dramatically reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the upcoming decades. Currently, in research, such emissions are mainly recorded on a national level and discussed on the basis of average values per capita. Such an approximation does not allow reliable statements about the role of different social groups in relation to climate change and emissions balance. Existing surveys of environmental behaviour, on the other hand, allow statements about the relationship between behaviour, attitudes and willingness to change, but have not been developed for the greenhouse gas-relevant behaviour of the population. This project aims to close this gap, to survey the CO2-relevant behaviour of the Austrian population, to test the factors influencing the different behaviours and thus to contribute to the achievement of the Paris target
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

National and Transnational Identities of Intra-European Migrants
Full text linkThe chapter focuses on European identification of especially intra-European migrants. It finds that groups who make use of the new liberties of transnational mobility in Europe, especially migrants with higher education, language proficiency, and wide social contacts can be seen to constitute a kind of vanguard in identificational attachment with Europe. To some extent, the creation of conditions encouraging movement across national borders in Europe seems to support political aims of European identity formation. Yet, as identification with Europe is complementary rather than competitive with both the Country of Origin (CoO) and the country of Residence (CoR) identity, intra-European migrants appear to be able to reconcile multiple identities and find ways of multiple inclusion, transcending one-sided patterns of integration, both exclusive attachment to the CoO and assimilation to the CoR as well as marginality
